New ideas, and some recycled ones.
 

Idea: Return the PBP to it's previous statistics; such as it's 25 damage and lower freeze.
Reason: Currently, the PBP isn't much better than an M3 / PL9 Shotgun.

Idea: Return the PL9 Logistics as a usable gun (new event item).
Cost: 30 ECs.
Reason: Adds an additional item to the events shop, and provides a new element of weaponry.

Idea: Introduce a new 'gang points system.'
Reason: The current gang points system only determines kills (+2) and deaths (-2). I think the system should only recognize kills (+2) instead of deaths, because deaths often prevent some gangs from raiding if they have a lower member count. Also, I think 'assists' (+1) should be added. An assist will be rewarded to a player who damages another gang member by 60+ damage. Three categories will be introduced: kills, assists, and points (total amount of kills + assists). The list will also display more than the current "top 5" only.

Idea: Introduce "Regency Dinner Theater" as a 'Video Combine.'
Reason: The term "Video Combine" refers to a sequence of video footage against a particular gang (or individual player). The reasoning behind this (if submitted by the player who records the footage) will be to allow players to view a player (or gang) during combat and analyze his / her or their movement(s).

Idea: Introduce a 'Sparring Statistics' list.
Reason: This will enable players to view their statistics amongst other sparrers; the lists will be based off of career sparring win-percentage, career wins, career losses, and weekly sub-lists of each category.

Idea: Reintroduce "Club Red Fox."
Reason: This will be the 'middle-man' of all housing environments. These apartments won't offer the square-feet that SR / Sewer houses will, but they won't be temporary like hotels.

Idea: Release a 'Racing Track.'
Reason: The racing track will provide players with an opportunity to race against each other. Although the racing track will always be open, a weekly event will be hosted (similar to the 'car race,' but elongated and will allow regular players to view the race).

Criticize / submit your ideas; I'm curious to see what new ideas can be transferred onto Era.

I don't agree with Event Coins fulls top but that's a different matter, but your ideas on a whole sound good. Coming from a guy that's looking at Era from what I read on the forums, I think it'd be good :)

In regards to the PBP, if a buff is necessary, finding a medium between pre-nerf and current PBP would be the best solution. Pre-nerf it was too over-powered.

As for the PL9, I disagree. The new types of event items that are being released are exactly what event items should be: a mix of fun items along with items that may enhance PKing, but aren't directly weapons themselves. And even if they were to add it back, that price is too low.

A more complex gang points system would be good in the future, but first I think it'd be even better if gang points were given some sort of purpose before the system itself is expanded upon.

Video system would be interesting. I'm not entirely sure how important/useful it would be overall, but it could be cool.

I could be wrong, but I recall Sales mentioning he was working on a sparring stats system. Either way, an upgraded version of it (with leaderboards like the ones from the new Bounty Hunter system) would be a good idea indeed.

I don't see why Club Red Fox would be offering apartments, I certainly don't remember a time when they did. It would be a nice idea to give some more affordable permanent housing options, but there's pretty cheap small sewer houses as it is.

Race-track? Has potential. It's not something I would get into, but some people definitely would like it.

"Buff my guns pl0x"

Ye uh now you say so..
Can you also make the Lexel, M3, Mk23, Xm8, P90 and Colts way and way better? Rofl..

No

We had a motorcycle race track a LONG LONG time ago. It'd be interesting to bring back our old motorcycles (which was super duper fun might I add.)

The PBP is already godly. sorry but it owns in all ways.
I dont even have the gun X_X

I think we should add the pinecone race track again and we can bet who will win. MAD BILLZZZ

Not sure if you remember, but I tried to get ideas for something with Regency Theatre. I also came up with a video thing, however, when angel tried to put a video in the level it didn't work.

I also tried to do something with Red Fox Club. My idea was though that the rooms were set up for parties, where there would be med packs and everything a party needs. However, I was told that's to similar to the Hotel. There has to be a major difference between the too.

And yeah lets get the race track back. I never saw it in use, i just remember seeing it on the map for a long time.

hellz yah.

I do agree that the 24 damage was a huge nerf even though it may not seem like it. I don't see why it just doesn't do 25.

30 EC for a gun is stupid. think how the loved by npc is only 25 ecs and for 5 more you can get a gun? doesn't make much sense there. I don't think permanent weapons should be in the EC shop.

I agree but it may be a bit hard.
I also think that you should get 2 points for every kill but only lose 1 point every death.

"analyzing movements" is ridiculously stupid. I don't see why people put so much thought and tactics into PKing. it's a very simple game, just play it.

this was said by sales once and still should be done.

I scripted a pretty nice renting system for red fox but back when I did it there were huge problems with server lag and it was screwing it up badly so I never released it.

no comment here.

I agree. Also, do you know that red building near the melee weapon shop? Well I sent some apartment levels to see if the managment liked them. So far they're considering it I think. (I'm willing to do more if neccesary)

I like this idea.

You're also comparing 5k-20k guns to a PBP.. Obviously those guns aren't supposed to be amazing. I agree that the PBP isn't really that great right now and there was no reason to make it 24 damage instead of the original 25.

That's a good point, but I think the PBP needed a nerf in some capacity. Maybe in a different area rather than damage, but a nerf nonetheless.

Just because an item is rare/expensive doesn't mean it still shouldn't be balanced.
